The National Conscience Party (NCP) is a nationalist political party in Nigeria. The party formed in 1994. However, it was prevented from standing in elections until 2003, when it won a legal battle to be able to do so. In the presidential election of that year, the NCP candidate, Gani Fawehinmi, came fifth, polling 161,333 votes or 0.41% of the popular vote.[6]
The party lost its electoral registration in 2020 as part of a larger wave in which the INEC deregistered a total of 72 parties.[7] In 2023 the party endorsed Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (Nigeria).[8] In 2025 the NCP announced an alliance with the African Democratic Congress to present a joint opposition to the administration of Bola Tinubu.[9]
